Bakersfield fossils 2.

We went back to the amazingly fossiliferous temblor formation near Bakersfield at the sharktooth hill. Amazingly we found 47 shark teeth last time and 47 shark teeth again! The picture to the left shows the 16 teeth we found the first day. These teeth include shortfin mako( isrus desori), the bigtooth mako ( isrus hastalis), the tiger shark (galeocerdo aduncus), and much more! So the first day went well.

The next two photos are of the second days finds, the second day was much better, coming in with a total of 22 teeth. We went to a different part of the sharktooth hill, and this much larger area withheld much more shark teeth than the first area.

Nice tiger shark tooth (galeocerdo aduncus) from the second day.

Nice indian ocea n shark (hemipristis serra) tooth from the second day. What's really cool is that these teeth are rare and I found one two trips in a row!
